When I right click on my sql server in the enterprise manager and select all
tasks --> manage server messages I am not seeing the object the error is
referring to. Instead I see a % wherever it should be inserting the object
name like below.
Incorrect value for parameter '%s'.
What do i have to do to get the server to substitute the tablename, etc. for
the % sign. Also is there anyway to see a timestamp for the errors returned.
It would be helpful to know when the error occured. Basically I am having
issues with an ASP.net page that is doing an update on a particular table. It
is not throwing an exception on the asp.net side so i wanted to look on the
sql side to see what happened. But on the sql side i can't tell because there
is no indication which table or when a particualr message in the manage
server messages tool refers too. Is there a better way to go about this?
Server is SQL server 2000.What you are seeing in Enterprise Manager is a collection of all the error
messages, that are stored in the master..sysmessages table. They are not the
errors raised by your application. When an error occurs, SQL Server will
raise those errors by substituting the parameters with appropriate values.
If you think you are experiencing an error in your application, then you
should capture the error number and the error description via the mechanism
provided by your programming language. For example, the Err object in VB.
Alternatively you can use SQL Server Profiler to see what statements are
being executed by SQL Server. You can trace the Exception event to capture
errors.

Thanks for your suggestions. Can you point me to a resource on tracing the
message with profiler. The vb app does not seem to be throwing an exception
so i am trying to figure out what is going on. I am not sure it is even
trying to write to the db at this point.

I am not aware of any step by step instructions for using Profiler but, it
should be quite simple and intuitive once you open it. I have some related
articles at: http://vyaskn.tripod.com/analyzing_profiler_output.htm
Apart from that do checkout SQL Server Books Online.

Thanks, I had already opened the profiler and you are right it is pretty
intuitive. I was able to capture the sql statement being sent from the vb app
and it did not cause an exception it just was returning 0 rows affected.
Maybe you guys could take a quick look at the statement 9hah - it is ugly)
and see if you can see the error. It is generated by ASP.Net 2.0 using a
gridview and sqldatasource. All of the code is generated by the asp controls
not me so I was expecting it to work for the simple test i was doing. here is
the generated statement with linebreaks inserted to make it more readable.
exec sp_executesql N
